General presentation
Voyageurs National Park
Park of lakes and islands where travel is largely on the water.
To understand what National Park Travelers are, you need to look at Kabetogama Lake, Rainy Lake and Ellsworth Rock Gardens. These places give us a territory marked by shores and lakes, forests and natural spaces and allow us to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 3 to 7 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Nature and landscape
Kabetogama Lake
Kabetogama Lake Opens access to the Voyageurs National Park by a vast body of water punctuated with islands, bays and forests. The trips are mainly by boat, which gives the stay a special rhythm: docks, quiet coves, fishing and sunsets on the water.
Nature and landscape
Rainy Lake
Rainy Lake It extends across the Canada-U.S. border, with a complex drawing of islands, channels and wooded shores. In Voyageurs National Park, it is discovered by boat, between ancient fur trade routes, isolated camps and wide water horizons of the North.
Culture and heritage
Ellsworth Rock Gardens
Ellsworth Rock Gardens is a unique set of terraces, stone sculptures and plantations on a shore of Lake Kabetogama. Accessible by water, the site surprises in this forest landscape: a personal garden, almost fragile, set in the middle of granite and pine trees.
Nature and panorama
Kettle Falls Hotel
The Kettle Falls Hotel It is a world-wide refuge, accessible mainly by boat in the Voyageurs National Park. Its bar on the sloping floor, isolation and proximity to water passages make it a stop for fishermen, loggers and travellers.
